Vacation at the Cabin

Posted by Picasa

We had a great time at the cabin last week with family. It was so nice to see Richard's home and see how well he's doing. Leo and Kristen came for a few days giving us a chance to enjoy Tyler who is growing so fast and is just as fast on his feet. We went out in Andy's boat, hiked in the woods, and walked along the gorge at Stonybrook State Park. Plus, we had really wonderful meals.

I think the best part of our vacation though was the moonlight showers in the woods. Andy and Art got the water heated over a wood fire. When the mineral well water heats the water turns to a lovely shade of brown and it's time to ladle it into a bucket and carry down the hill and fill the larger shower bucket. Then you pull and fasten the rope connected to the pulley. This wonder shower has a lever to adjust the flow of water. You get wet, lather up,and rinse off. It felt sooo good. There's also an outhouse at the cabin with a very comfortable seat and a sign saying "Martha Stewart doesn't live here." I really think Andy and Mary should start a bread and breakfast!
